sparks, gman, anybody else interested in exploratory trip to Colombia (you too, stanky) ... this town is small, beautiful, has international tourism meaning you can get by with minimal Spanish. Rains a lot but that means it is green as hell, with great bird populations, coffee growing everywhere, mountainous, not too high an altitude, good food, cheap by US standards.

Medellín not too far away, international airport with direct flights from the US. Colombian customs is very easy in my experience. Get three month stay stamped in your passport no problem.

I'd love to but for three problems: No money for such things right now, I have kittehs to take care of and my passport is long expired. I'd be starting from scratch on that I fear. But it is a lovely idea.

But I've also been trying to figure out the geometry that could produce the wound that was seen on the videos without at least doing some skull damage. That's part of what led me to speculate that maybe the injury was more serious that was acknowledged. If it was a glass wound, that would explain it.

I don't have any issues with it being the bullet that cut his ear. A very lucky or unlucky shot, depending how you feel about Trump.

The kid wasn't a good enough shot to make his high school shooting team, so it's probably a miracle the bullet went anywhere near him.
